JSU flagged rookie Jordan James as the sneaky late-round hedge for managers who fade Christian McCaffrey’s durability. San Francisco drafted James to sit as the No. 3 back, but JSU noted that in Kyle Shanahan’s run-heavy ecosystem a single McCaffrey injury could elevate James into 15-plus touches and the lucrative green-zone role. Given JSU’s earlier warnings about paying a premium for aging, injury-prone backs like CMC, he likes grabbing James as a cheap insurance chip who is "one injury away from probably being the guy."

JSU told drafters to keep clicking Keenan Allen while he is still sitting on the free-agent pile. He expects the veteran’s DraftKings Best Ball ADP to jump "like five rounds" the instant Allen signs with a new team. In other words, you are buying certain closing-line value right now, then riding a proven target hog once training-camp headlines inevitably push him up the board. JSU’s stance is simple: if you believe Allen will land a job – and history says productive wideouts do not stay unemployed for long – you should stash him before the market corrects.

JSU advised fading Anthony Richardson in 2025 best-ball drafts, citing both injury risk and his drag on teammate production. He compiled the splits: with Richardson under center last season Jonathan Taylor averaged 16.7 fantasy points, Michael Pittman 8.1 (zero TDs), Alec Pierce 8.2, and Josh Downs 10.1. In the smaller sample with Joe Flacco those numbers spiked to 19.1, 14.3, and 15.5 respectively, with Pittman and Downs seeing roughly 20 additional targets apiece despite three fewer games. JSU believes Richardson’s one-read, tuck-and-run tendencies cap overall pass volume while vulturing red-zone scores, kneecapping the Colts’ skill players and limiting Richardson’s own ceiling to rushing-dependent spike weeks. Combine that with the QB’s bulldozer running style—already responsible for multiple missed games and shoulder concerns—and JSU argues managers should either take a third quarterback for insurance or bypass Richardson entirely for more pass-centric options in the same tier.

Calling Tony Pollard a “condom pick,” JSU warned drafters that selecting him at his current sixth-/seventh-round DraftKings ADP requires everything to break perfectly—something he doubts will happen in Tennessee. The Titans did beef up their offensive line, but JSU stressed that Pollard’s efficiency cratered when handed a true workhorse role in Dallas (his yards after contact fell from 3.8 in 2022 to 2.4 in 2024). If first- and second-down snaps shift into a near-even split with Tyjae Spears, Pollard loses the very volume drafters are paying for, leaving him as an expensive committee back. JSU also pointed out that new OC Nick Holz comes from a Shanahan tree that rotates runners situationally, further muddying Pollard’s touch outlook. Unless Pollard monopolizes goal-line work—unlikely given Spears’ 70 % success rate on carries inside the five last year—JSU sees little chance Pollard returns value and much greater probability he torpedoes early-round builds.

JSU said Tyjae Spears is the running back to hammer in the RB30-plus range of DraftKings best-ball rooms. He reminded listeners that Tennessee’s revamped offensive line still projects to rank top-10 in run-blocking win rate, but the backfield pecking order is anything but settled after the team paid only mid-tier money for Tony Pollard. JSU noted that if the touches tilt even 55-45 instead of a Pollard bell-cow scenario, Pollard’s Round-7 price becomes a landmine while Spears’ double-digit ADP turns into a smash. He compared the situation to last year’s Panthers backfield, where late-round Chuba Hubbard jumped a fading veteran and finished as an every-week flex. Spears already handled most of the two-minute work as a rookie, owns a 2.02 yards-per-route mark that ranked fourth among backs with 40-plus targets, and racked up 17 broken tackles on just 143 touches. JSU argued that type of explosiveness plus a realistic path to winning the job outright gives Spears multiple ways to beat his cost and provide tournament-winning spike weeks.

Comparing rookie tight ends, JSU gave the edge to Tyler Warren over Colston Loveland. He believes Warren owns a clearer path to every-down routes and therefore weekly target volume, whereas Loveland will be schemed for specific red-zone looks but may struggle to clear 4-5 targets per game. JSU likened Loveland’s deployment to Sam LaPorta’s rookie usage but noted the uncertainty around how often the offense will actually feature him. Warren, on the other hand, could become a safety blanket who quietly racks up 55-plus catches, a profile that pops in full-PPR DraftKings best ball. Because of that volume upside, JSU is treating Warren as a priority TE2/TE3 in the double-digit rounds.

JSU flipped on Brian Robinson in this draft, saying he is now comfortable clicking the Washington back because the touchdown equity is still there at today’s cost. Robinson handled 54 % of the Commanders’ carries inside the five despite missing three games, and JSU expects that rate to hold in 2025 even with rookie quarterback Jaden Daniels pilfering an occasional sneak. Robinson will never be a reception monster, but JSU stressed that inside-five work is the highest-value touch in best ball scoring. If the bruiser merely stays healthy, the combination of a 200-carry path and a majority share of green-zone plunges gives him week-winning spike potential well past pick 100.

JSU argued Jordan Love is a sneaky upside target at his depressed DraftKings ADP. Love still finished QB17 last season despite missing two games and gutting through an injury that forced the Packers to lean run-heavy. The only quarterback who missed the same amount of time yet ranked higher was Jalen Hurts. With a clean bill of health, a deeper pass-catching corps, and what JSU expects to be more aggressive play-calling, he sees a realistic path to Love cracking the top-12 in fantasy points per game. That combination of suppressed price and plausible QB1 outcome makes Love one of JSU’s favorite QB2s in Best Ball builds.

JSU called Jayden Reed’s current ADP “insane,” preferring to scoop cheaper Packers such as Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. He pointed out Reed is mostly confined to three-wide sets while Matt LaFleur leans on two-receiver, run-heavy looks now that Josh Jacobs is in town. Green Bay already rotates receivers heavily—something JSU believes will cap Reed’s route share and spike-week potential. With comparable or better volume potentially funneling to lower-priced teammates, JSU views Reed as a poor value whose ceiling is being over-bought by drafters chasing last year’s rookie flashes.

JSU said he is flat-out avoiding Darren Waller in DraftKings Best Ball drafts, noting he “wouldn’t be shocked” if the veteran quits football four games into the season. Waller has already flirted with retirement, battled recurring hamstring and back problems, and is learning yet another playbook after his latest team switch. JSU argued those red flags wipe out any ceiling while creating a catastrophic floor, especially when cheaper options like Tucker Kraft or Noah Gray offer full-season availability at lower cost. Between age, injury history, and uncertain motivation, JSU considers Waller a land-mine pick he is crossing off every roster.

JSU said he will not draft Russell Wilson even as a final-round flyer because he expects Brian Daboll to turn the offense over to rookie Jackson Dart at some point this season. JSU compared the situation to last year’s Michael Penix late-season cameo, warning that any Giants slump could accelerate the switch. With Wilson’s ceiling already capped by a run-heavy, play-action scheme, the added risk of losing his starting job makes him a portfolio landmine in best-ball. JSU prefers taking upside shots on other late quarterbacks like Caleb Williams or Bryce Young rather than banking on Wilson surviving all 17 weeks.

JSU argued Josh Reynolds is being ignored in the final rounds despite a realistic chance to start opposite Garrett Wilson for the Jets. He pointed out that Robert Saleh covets blocking at wide receiver—Reynolds and Allen Lazard both grade out as plus run-blockers—which keeps them on the field even in two-wide sets built around Breece Hall and Raylen Allen. Because of that, JSU expects Reynolds to log meaningful snap shares, draw the occasional deep shot from Justin Fields, and deliver usable spike weeks at a near-free ADP. He advised stacking Reynolds with Fields or Hall as a cheap way to capture Jets touchdowns that funnel away from Wilson.

JSU said Matthew Stafford is a priority QB2 in DraftKings best-ball rooms because his production spikes the moment Puka Nacua is on the field. Stafford averaged just 9.1 fantasy points in games Nacua missed last year but jumped to 16 per game when the rookie played, a 75 % increase JSU called “staggering.” With Nacua healthy, an offensive line upgrade, and ongoing rumors the Rams could still land Davante Adams, JSU projects more multi-touchdown outings and believes Stafford will outscore several quarterbacks drafted three-plus rounds earlier. He likes pairing Stafford with Puka in Rams or bring-back stacks and sees him as the perfect late anchor when drafters punt QB early.

JSU said he is out on Mark Andrews this season, even though he was a big supporter two years ago. He compared the Ravens tight end to “Dallas Goedert minus,” arguing Andrews no longer separates enough from the mid-tier to justify his early-round best-ball price tag. JSU hinted at unspecified "friction" around Andrews’ role and believes drafters are ignoring that tighter target distribution makes his ceiling slimmer than in past years. Instead of paying a premium for what he now views as a replacement-level fantasy option, JSU is waiting and taking cheaper names like Goedert later in drafts.

JSU called Dallas Goedert one of the easiest tight-end clicks in DraftKings best-ball rooms. He admitted Goedert "runs like he’s in quicksand," yet argued that very perception is what buries the veteran’s ADP. Despite the lack of long-speed, Goedert keeps popping wide-open – JSU reminded viewers of last season’s Saints game where Goedert had acres of space on several $2,700 DFS routes. With drafters chasing A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, Goedert’s steady volume and red-zone trust from Jalen Hurts are being overlooked. JSU said he’s perfectly happy scooping the Eagle as a cheap TE1/TE2 because the market is paying too much attention to highlight-reel athleticism and not enough to how often Goedert simply gets the ball.

JSU called Alvin Kamara a "dust ball" at his early-fourth-round DraftKings ADP and said he will die on that hill. Kamara turns 30 this season, has absorbed roughly 600 receptions and 1,500 rush attempts—about 2,000 hits by JSU’s math—and now plays on a Saints roster he expects to be "really bad." If New Orleans slides out of contention, JSU thinks the staff will shut Kamara down early rather than run an aging back into the ground, crushing playoff-week utility in Best Ball tournaments. He is instead taking backs like James Conner, Chuba Hubbard, and Kenneth Walker in the same range, arguing they carry less shutdown risk and fresher legs.

JSU said he has "zero" Christian McCaffrey shares and will keep it that way until the 49ers star slides into Round 2. He thinks spending a first-round Best Ball pick on a running back with multiple past breakdowns is asking for a roster-crippling injury. McCaffrey certainly has RB1 overall upside, but JSU pointed out that drafters are paying for that perfect season while ignoring the very real downside that comes with his heavy mileage and recurring soft-tissue issues. Instead, JSU prefers Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, Jahmyr Gibbs, or even De'Von Achane—players he believes offer similar ceilings with less catastrophic floor risk at cheaper prices.

JSU drew a hard line on J.K. Dobbins once the market pushed him from near-undrafted territory (pick 180) to the Round 9–10 neighborhood (around 110 overall). He reminded listeners that Dobbins ‘hit a wall’ down the stretch last season—his yards after contact dropped from 3.0 to 2.1 after Week 10—and a second Achilles surgery leaves little confidence that explosiveness suddenly returns. At his new cost Dobbins must leapfrog Javonte Williams for early-down work while still seeing targets, a workload JSU considers highly unlikely in Sean Payton’s committee-heavy backfields. Instead of chasing last year’s discount that no longer exists, JSU is simply avoiding Dobbins and betting the veteran’s efficiency craters again, letting late drafters eat the downside of a 26-year-old back with two major leg injuries.

JSU said that even though Jaden Daniels is the type of fantasy cheat code you normally lock in as your QB1/QB2 and move on, his play style still exposes drafters to more downside than the other early-round signal callers. Daniels carried the ball 118 times as a rookie and, per JSU, has "gotten better at getting down" but still absorbs too many hits. Daniels gutted out injuries last season, yet that very toughness tempts him to keep running instead of sliding. Because of that ongoing collision risk, JSU advised adding a third late-round quarterback—something he rarely does when he grabs an elite passer—to safeguard best-ball rosters against a multi-week absence. The insurance QB can be any value who free-falls after ADP, but the key is not relying on only two arms if one of them is Daniels.

JSU identified Ray-Ray McCloud as a sneaky DK flier because Zac Robinson plans to keep Atlanta in three-wide personnel. The Falcons added almost no competition at receiver, meaning McCloud should log heavy slot snaps and see quick-hitting targets that rack up DraftKings PPR points. Over the last two years he has converted 72 % of targets under 10 yards, and JSU expects Robinson to feature him on jet motions and bubble screens similar to Puka Nacua’s role with the Rams. Volume plus easy receptions give McCloud a usable weekly floor despite his basement-level ADP.

JSU called Darius Slayton the perfect last-round spike-week bet now that Russell Wilson is in New York. Wilson, in JSU’s words, still “can heave that thing down the field,” and Slayton owns a 14.7-yard career YPR on a 13-plus ADOT. JSU expects Brian Daboll to lean on play-action bombs while defenses double Malik Nabers, letting Slayton deliver 2-for-70-and-a-TD type lines that matter in best-ball formats. With an ADP outside the top-200, Slayton is an easy add to any Wilson stack and offers free, week-winning upside.

JSU said Kareem Hunt is the kind of near-undrafted running back who can swing DraftKings best-ball tournaments. He reminded listeners that once Kansas City re-signed Hunt last season he immediately led the backfield in carries inside the five, a clear sign of Andy Reid’s trust. With Isaiah Pacheco already nursing the same shoulder that cost him games in 2024, JSU sees an easy path to double-digit touchdowns if the starter is limited or sidelined. Even in a committee, the Chiefs rank top-five in red-zone trips per game, so a monopoly on goal-line snaps plus late receiving work gives Hunt weekly 15-point upside at a giveaway ADP.

JSU admitted he is "not a Najee Harris guy" but still clicked him at pick 130 because the market has finally priced in the plodding efficiency. Harris has never finished worse than RB17 in half-PPR points per game, yet is now going outside the top-35 backs. Even if Jim Harbaugh keeps the Chargers’ run rate in neutral, JSU argued a stubborn 60-plus percent snap share and near-goal-line monopoly make Harris a value once he slides into Round 11. The bet is purely volume-driven, but volume at that cost is hard to pass in 20-round best-ball drafts.

JSU called Emeka Egbuka the linchpin of his preferred cheap Baker Mayfield stacks. Egbuka routinely slips several rounds past fellow rookie Jalen McMillan, yet JSU believes he owns the higher ceiling thanks to sub-4.4 speed and a 30% college dominator. He noted that Mike Evans turns 32 and Chris Godwin’s yards-per-route have declined for three straight seasons—"the wheels have to fall off at some point." If either veteran misses time, JSU thinks Egbuka will soak up perimeter snaps and could replicate the late-season spike weeks McMillan delivered in 2024. The price/contingent-value combo makes him a must-click in Round 13-14 of DraftKings best-ball rooms.

JSU said Bryce Young is one of his favorite last-round stabs on DraftKings because the Panthers own the league’s third-easiest passing schedule and a defense he flat-out called "terrible." He expects Carolina to be forced into Washington-style track meets after ranking bottom-three in defensive EPA last year, and the entire NFC South plus a crossover with the AFC South gives Young at least 10 games against bottom-half secondaries. JSU argued that volume alone could push Young to multiple 300-yard bonus weeks, making him a perfect QB3 in best-ball builds that wait on the position.

JSU highlighted Zach Charbonnet as one of his favorite late running-back picks. He reminded listeners that Seattle funneled 21 carries inside the five to running backs after Week 10, and Charbonnet claimed half of them despite Kenneth Walker staying healthy. If Walker misses time, JSU projects Charbonnet to push 20 touches per game in an offense that was sixth in early-down run rate under Ryan Grubb at the end of 2024. Even in a healthy backfield split, Charbonnet should keep the high-value looks near the goal line, giving him weekly stand-alone flex equity with true league-winning upside if the lead back turns an ankle.

JSU said Jerome Ford is the Browns back to click in the final rounds of DraftKings best-ball drafts. He expects Cleveland to open 2025 in a three-man committee with rookie Quinshon Judkins and fellow late-round flyer Samson Evans, but noted the off-field incident hanging over Judkins could trigger a 4-6 game suspension that vaults Ford into an every-down role. Even without a ban, JSU thinks at least one of the cheap veterans will matter because Kevin Stefanski has historically leaned on multiple backs (Browns RB2s have averaged 148 touches the last three seasons). If the rookie misses time, Ford’s current 170-plus ADP could jump inside the top-110, giving drafters an easy portfolio win.

JSU called Chuba Hubbard a sneaky smash at his current DraftKings ADP, pointing out that Hubbard handled roughly 80% of Carolina’s carries inside the five last season—second only to Derrick Henry’s 90% among backs with 200+ rush attempts. The Panthers added only Rico Dowdle behind him, and JSU does not expect that to siphon short-yardage work. Hubbard can catch passes, run between the tackles, and already proved coaches trust him at the goal line. That three-down profile, combined with how late he goes in 20-round DraftKings drafts, makes him a priority target for best-ball drafters hunting for touchdown equity after the first few rounds.

JSU loves DK Metcalf in 2025 best-ball drafts, arguing the move to Pittsburgh sets him up for a Davante-Adams-style target onslaught from Aaron Rodgers. He noted Metcalf has "no competition for the number one" role—Calvin Austin is a field-stretcher and the rest of the depth chart lacks proven producers—so Rodgers may simply lock onto the 6'4", 235-pound wideout the same way he force-fed Adams late in Green Bay. If that happens, Metcalf’s already elite red-zone profile gets paired with true WR1 volume, creating week-winning spike weeks at his current price.

JSU said D'Andre Swift is an easy click in the RB20 range because Chicago’s backfield is quietly tailor-made for him to soak up fantasy-friendly touches. The Bears only added a seventh-round runner and the two veterans already on the roster "aren't pass catchers anyway," leaving Swift a clear path to every third-down and two-minute snap plus a share of early-down carries. JSU reminded listeners that Swift flashed 20-plus-point upside when Ben Johnson schemed passes to him in Detroit and thinks a similar receiving workload is coming in Chicago. Even if bigger backs steal some goal-line plunges, Swift’s combination of check-downs and chunk runs gives him plenty of outs to blow past an RB2 price tag in DraftKings best-ball rooms.

JSU said Saquon Barkley is an "auto-click" whenever he slips to the 1.06 in DraftKings best-ball rooms because the field is overthinking his perceived touchdown regression. He pointed out that Barkley saw only 41 % of his team’s carries inside the five last season, while Derrick Henry commanded 90 % for Tennessee. JSU argued that if Barkley ever approached a Henry-like goal-line share he could have pushed 25 rushing TDs. Drafters are fading him after last year’s 400-touch workload and because Jalen Hurts may vulture some sneaks, but JSU believes an uptick in Barkley’s goal-line work (plus his trademark long runs) still gives him league-winning upside at a mid-first-round price.

JSU said C.J. Stroud is essentially guaranteed to beat last year’s QB18 finish, calling 2025 a clear bounce-back season. His logic: Stroud already produced mid-QB2 numbers in what JSU labeled a worst-case environment—nagging shoulder issues, a leaky offensive line and Nico Collins missing three games—so repeating that floor is unlikely. With Collins healthy, rookie 6'3'' boundary threat Jaden Higgins in the mix and Bobby Slowik retaining a top-10 neutral-situation pass rate, JSU expects Stroud’s weekly median to climb back above 275 yards and two scores. Those ingredients, plus eight dome games on Houston’s schedule, give Stroud multiple 30-point ceilings and a realistic path to a top-12 fantasy finish while he’s still drafted after the elite QB tier in DraftKings Best Ball rooms.

JSU said Justin Fields can be drafted without a single Jets pass catcher because his legs alone can deliver week-winning scores. Fields has averaged 52 rushing yards and 0.46 rushing TDs per start over his career, numbers that translate to roughly a free passing touchdown every week in DraftKings scoring. That rushing safety net lets drafters bypass pricey Garrett Wilson shares and still gain quarterback ceiling, freeing capital for skill players on other stacks. JSU prefers pairing Fields with two cheaper late QBs rather than investing additional early picks just to force a stack, highlighting the flexibility Fields brings to tournament roster construction.

JSU advised getting underweight on Alvin Kamara despite the veteran’s proven early-season PPR floor. He fears the Saints’ offense will be one of the league’s worst with no clear quarterback upgrade, making it easy for defenses to crowd the box once inevitable injuries hit the offensive line. If New Orleans spirals out of contention, JSU expects the staff to protect Kamara’s long-term health by limiting snaps or shelving him outright during fantasy playoff weeks. That risk, combined with declining explosiveness and a rising ADP that assumes 17 healthy games, makes Kamara a portfolio landmine in top-heavy Best Ball tournaments where late-season upside is crucial.

JSU cautioned drafters against grabbing Sam LaPorta in the early rounds of DraftKings Best Ball. He argued that a huge chunk of LaPorta’s rookie touchdown total was manufactured by former OC-turned-Bears HC Ben Johnson through motion, mis-direction and other ‘trickery’ that will not be as prevalent with Johnson gone. JSU conceded the tight end’s raw target volume might rise, but without Johnson’s red-zone creativity LaPorta’s efficiency and spike-week rate are likely to fall. He added that spending premium capital on a second tight end constrains roster construction, especially when later options like Chigoziem Okonkwo or David Njoku offer comparable week-winning ceilings for a fraction of the cost. Bottom line: at his current top-60 ADP LaPorta is a fade unless you are building an all-in Lions stack and are comfortable banking on volume over touchdowns.

JSU called C.J. Stroud the easiest buy-low in the draft lobby after his ADP fell more than 40 spots from last summer. He reminded listeners Stroud set rookie records in 2023 with 4,100 yards and 8.2 YPA before injuries dinged his sophomore box scores, but Houston kept Bobby Slowik’s pass-heavy scheme and added 6'3'' boundary rookie Jaden Higgins. The Texans return four starting linemen and are projected for another top-10 neutral-situation pass rate inside a dome schedule. JSU expects Stroud to bounce back to 275-plus yards and two-score median outings—plenty of 30-point ceilings—while costing a mid-round pick that lets drafters load up elsewhere. In his view, pairing Stroud with a cheaper QB3 like Baker Mayfield or J.J. McCarthy gives tournament builds elite upside without spending first- or second-round capital on the Lamar/Allen tier.

JSU said Caleb Williams is a late-round quarterback you absolutely want in DraftKings Best Ball rooms this summer because Chicago finally fixed the two things that submarined his rookie efficiency: coaching and protection. Ben Johnson replaces Matt Eberflus with the same play-action, quick-hitting scheme that fueled monster fantasy seasons for Jared Goff and a Detroit run game that punched in 28 rushing scores last year. The Bears also invested heavily in the offensive line after Williams faced pressure on 38 % of rookie dropbacks, sixth-worst in the league. With Rome Odunze stretching defenses vertically and DJ Moore owning the intermediate area, JSU projects Williams for both explosive passing plays and designed-run usage that can produce 3–4 thirty-point spike weeks. He admitted the exact target pecking order between Moore, Odunze, Luther Burden and Colston Loveland remains unsettled, but argued the Ben Johnson system plus improved trench play gives Williams a clear path to a top-10 fantasy finish while still going well after the elite QB tier.

JSU urged drafters to load up on Rome Odunze now, predicting the rookie’s ADP will shoot into the 50-60 range once training-camp reports start hyping Ben Johnson’s offense and Caleb Williams’ chemistry with his new WR2. Odunze is already climbing boards, and JSU thinks the Chicago media machine plus a few highlight clips will push him another round higher. Grabbing shares before that buzz hits gives drafters closing-line value on a boundary playmaker who could command immediate volume opposite D.J. Moore.

JSU is deliberately leaving drafts with at least one Chicago running back— usually D'Andre Swift— because new head coach Ben Johnson just oversaw a Detroit duo that punched in 28 rushing TDs (16 for Jahmyr Gibbs, 12 for David Montgomery). He pointed to a bulked-up Bears offensive line and Johnson’s proven red-zone play-calling as signals that someone in this backfield will rack up scores. With the market fading Chicago backs, JSU sees Swift’s current ADP as a bargain path to double-digit touchdowns and multiple spike weeks in DraftKings’ top-heavy tournament structure.

JSU said Dalton Kincaid “stinks” and should be avoided in DraftKings Best Ball rooms. The tight end has struggled with drops— “cannot catch the football” in JSU’s words— and still fights for targets in a Bills offense where Josh Allen and James Cook combined for 32 rushing TDs last year. JSU does not see Buffalo producing the 40-plus passing scores that would lift a secondary target like Kincaid, so even if his route share climbs the weekly ceiling just is not there. He would rather chase late-round upside at the position than burn a mid-draft pick on a low-volume, drop-prone option.

JSU drafted David Njoku and immediately called him the perfect tight-end value for DraftKings Best-Ball rooms. He expects Kevin Stefanski to lean heavily on two-tight-end personnel after the Browns added only Deontay Johnson at wide receiver and spent draft capital on a developmental second tight end. That formation preference keeps Njoku on the field for virtually every snap while still making him the primary pass-catching option in the middle of the field. JSU reminded listeners Njoku popped for multiple 25-plus-point outings last season and thinks similar spike weeks are coming thanks to Joe Flacco’s tendency to pepper short and intermediate routes—27 percent of Flacco’s 2024 pass attempts went to tight ends down the stretch. With Njoku randomly slipping several rounds past ADP in some drafts, JSU is scooping him as a high-ceiling TE2 who can single-handedly win advancement pods whenever he hits his 6-for-80 and a touchdown games.

JSU said he is getting under-weight on Travis Etienne because the Jaguars back is climbing draft boards on nothing but coach-speak. Liam Coen recently told reporters Etienne is "doing everything we ask," and JSU believes that empty praise is inflating Etienne’s DraftKings Best-Ball price without fixing the real issue: the runner simply is not special once you strip away volume. He compared the situation to last year’s Rashad White—useful touches propped up the box scores until a more explosive option emerged. JSU thinks rookie UDFA Bhayshul Tuten could be that option in Jacksonville, noting that Tuten’s price keeps falling while Etienne’s climbs. If Coen follows through on talk of more two-back looks, Etienne’s weekly ceiling disappears, making him a fade at an ADP that now bakes in feature-back security he may not have. JSU would rather grab the cheaper Tuten shares and use the Etienne savings on receivers with true spike-week upside.

JSU advised taking the under on Jauan Jennings’ 850-yard season prop, calling the number "way too high" for a player who has never cleared 300 yards in any of his four NFL campaigns. He pointed out that San Francisco already funnels targets to Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle while remaining one of the league’s most run-heavy attacks under Kyle Shanahan. With rookie Ricky Pearsall also in the mix, JSU doubts Jennings even sees a full-time snap share, much less the 85-plus targets required to threaten 850 yards. He suggested parlaying the Jennings under with Chris Olave’s 825-yard over as a correlated bet on sportsbook mis-pricing.

JSU called Tyler Higbee the single best way to complete a Matthew Stafford stack because the veteran tight end routinely lasts until the final rounds of DraftKings drafts. Stafford offers zero rushing juice, so JSU insists you must pair him with at least one Rams pass catcher to unlock ceiling weeks; Higbee gives you that correlation without spending premium capital on Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua. He noted Higbee logged a 15 % target share last season and still ranked top-10 among tight ends in red-zone looks, yet drafters treat him like a TE30. JSU is comfortable grabbing three tight ends total, making Higbee the ideal TE3 who can pop for 15–20 PPR points on the rare games Stafford throws 40-plus times.

JSU said James Cook is a smash pick at current Best-Ball ADP because Buffalo is about to double-down on last season’s late-year identity. He reminded listeners that the Bills were ninth in rushing attempts and still pounded the rock against three elite run defenses—Denver, Baltimore and Kansas City—during the playoffs, proving Joe Brady is comfortable winning on the ground. The front office’s only notable addition to the pass-catcher room was Josh Palmer, a signal that the offense will again flow through Josh Allen–plus–Cook option looks. Cook quietly found the end zone roughly 15 times across regular season and playoffs, so even with Allen’s goal-line poaching there is plenty of touchdown equity. JSU expects Buffalo to match or exceed last year’s rush volume, giving Cook 275–300 touches and multiple 25-point spike weeks that you need in DraftKings’ top-heavy tournament structure.

JSU said he plans to be "wildly overweight" on Cedric Tillman in DraftKings Best Ball drafts. Cleveland’s staff has raved about the second-year wideout all offseason, and JSU noted the Browns ran 11 personnel on 73 % of snaps after Joe Flacco took over, a trend he expects to continue with Flacco projected to start 2025. At 6'3", 213 with a 91st percentile contested-catch rate at Tennessee, Tillman profiles as the boundary complement opposite Amari Cooper while Deontae Johnson soaks up slot volume. JSU added that Kevin Stefanski’s offense ranked ninth in red-zone pass rate last season, creating weekly touchdown equity for whichever big-body wins the WR2 role. Because Tillman routinely lasts beyond pick 175, JSU views him as a low-cost bet on 90-plus targets with double-digit TD upside if Cooper’s nagging core injury flares up again. He prefers the Browns sophomore to rostering a ninth wide receiver with no clear path to snaps.

JSU highlighted rookie Trey Harris as a perfect back-half hammer in DraftKings Best Ball. Harris posted a 3.20 yards-per-route-run mark against man coverage at Ole Miss, a figure JSU said topped every Day-2 wideout in this class. The Chargers desperately need boundary threats after losing Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, and JSU believes Quentin Johnston’s 19 % drop rate keeps the door wide open for Harris to siphon work as the season progresses. Early on, Harris may rotate as WR4 behind Ladd McConkey, Johnston and Josh Palmer, but JSU envisions a November scenario where his man-beating skill set wins Herbert’s trust and he’s logging 70-plus percent route shares right when best-ball playoff weeks hit. At a free-square ADP outside the top 200, JSU is scooping Harris anywhere he has built Chargers or late-season correlated stacks, calling him a "man-coverage killer who can rip off two 25-point weeks when it matters."

JSU warned that Matthew Stafford is the kind of quarterback who hurts Best-Ball tournament upside because he simply does not produce enough weekly winners. Citing last year’s game logs, JSU noted Stafford had “hardly any spike weeks,” a direct result of both constant injuries to his skill players and the veteran’s complete lack of rushing equity. In a draft where he reluctantly selected Stafford naked as his QB2, JSU said drafters should strongly prefer to stack him with at least one of Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua or Kyren Williams— otherwise you are rostering a pocket passer whose 18-point median does little to separate you from the field. The takeaway: unless you are building a Rams game-stack that can capture rare 300-yard, multi-TD outings, you are better off chasing a lower-priced dual-threat such as Sam Darnold or J.J. McCarthy.

JSU argued you don’t have to force a Patriots stack when selecting rookie quarterback Drake Maye. Maye averaged 50 rushing yards and seven rushing scores per season at North Carolina, a dual-threat profile that JSU says can "carry a Best-Ball lineup on its own" much like Anthony Richardson briefly did last year. He expects Bill O’Brien to lean into RPOs and designed keepers, giving Maye a bankable floor and multiple ceiling paths even if New England’s pass catchers flop. With an ADP outside the top-12 QBs, JSU views Maye as the ideal fallback when your preferred stacks get sniped—his rushing juice plus cheap cost make a naked Maye share entirely viable for tournament builds.

JSU said rookie tight end Fannin is the perfect third-TE gamble in DraftKings Best Ball. Cleveland added almost nothing at wide receiver beyond Deontae Johnson, which JSU views as a loud signal Kevin Stefanski plans to lean on two-tight-end personnel featuring David Njoku and the 6'4", 250-pound Fannin—who, according to JSU, "was a beast in college and looks a lot like Njoku coming out." With Fannin either undrafted or slipping to the 19th–20th rounds, drafters can grab him for free exposure to a Browns offense that funneled 27 % of Joe Flacco’s attempts to tight ends down last season’s stretch run. JSU expects Flacco to start the year, believes his veteran tendency to pepper short and intermediate targets will continue, and thinks even one or two Fannin spike weeks could swing advancement in top-heavy best-ball tournaments.

JSU argued that Emeka Egbuka is worth a top-100 pick despite Tampa Bay’s crowded receiver room. The Bucs spent premium draft capital on the Ohio State product, signaling he is Chris Godwin’s long-term replacement and immediate insurance for an aging corps. Mike Evans is entering Year 12 and Godwin is still working back from multiple lower-body injuries; JSU thinks "the odds are one of those guys misses time," and if that happens Egbuka’s slot-plus-boundary versatility makes him the next man up. He fits Godwin’s inside/outside role seamlessly and would inherit Baker Mayfield’s high-percentage looks. In best-ball tournaments, JSU prefers receivers who can swing playoff weeks rather than safe WR5s, and Egbuka’s contingency-based ceiling matches that philosophy without the inflated price of higher-profile rookies going two rounds earlier.
